    摘要: A transceiver front end includes a transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a first balun, a second balun, a low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, and compensation circuitry. The T/R switch is operably coupled to an antenna for receiving inbound radio frequency (RF) signals and for transmitting outbound RF signals. The first balun includes a single ended winding and a differential winding, where the single ended winding is operably coupled to the T/R switch. The second balun includes a single ended winding and a differential winding, where the single ended winding is operably coupled to the T/R switch. The low noise amplifier is operably coupled the differential winding of the first balun. The power amplifier is operably coupled to the differential winding of the second balun. The compensation circuitry is operably coupled to the first balun to compensate for at least one of phase imbalance, amplitude imbalance, and impedance imbalance of the first balun.

    摘要: A circuit is provided for controlling the gain of an amplifier, such as an amplifier that may be used in telecommunication devices. The circuit includes an analog portion that receives signals from one or more mixers and that produces an output that is an inverse logarithmic function of the input signal. The output signal is digitally processed by a digital portion of the circuit, which determines whether gain of the amplifier should be increased, decreased, or held constant. Also, methods are provided for controlling the gain of an amplifier.

    摘要: A receiver and receiver front end having multiple independent differential inputs, multiple independent differential low-noise amplifiers, and two sets of double-balanced IQ mixers. The double-balanced mixers include cross-coupled PMOS devices that dynamically inject current at zero-crossing points to cancel out tail currents in the mixers. Also, methods of operating the above-discussed receiver and receiver front end.

    摘要: A technique to use a two-step calibration procedure to calibrate a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) of a phase-locked loop. The first calibration step is an open-loop calibration procedure in which a control voltage of the VCO is temperature compensated and the VCO is tuned using a search routine to generate a corresponding output frequency based on the control voltage. The second step is a closed-loop calibration procedure to adjust the tuning components of the VCO to correct for a 1 LSB error.
